The hike started out with some great views of the impressive canyon.
We soon entered the canyon where we were treated to a few areas of shade and a few wildflowers in bloom.
As we exited the canyon, shade would become difficult to find.
Looking back after exiting the canyon. |
I was relieved to see a line of green cottonwoods on the horizon that I knew marked the location of the river.
As soon as we arrived at the Rio Grande, Parker waded in for a drink.
Noelle and I took off our shoes and cooled our feet in the water and relaxed for a bit.
After about 30 minutes we decided to make our way back to the car on a road that paralleled the arroyo. Storm clouds began to gather to the west, but we never got rained on.
We were all glad to be back to the car and I blasted the air conditioner as we headed up into the mountains and our campsite at Big Tesuque Campground.
